Plato’s Moral Realism

Seneca

Lloyd P. Gerson | University of Toronto

The Literary Philosopher Margaret Graver | Dartmouth College, New Hampshire

This book attempts to situate Plato’s ethics within his profoundly revisionist metaphysics. It aims to show why Plato makes the keystone of his metaphysical system a normative principle, the Idea of the Good. In doing this, we can see how Plato’s metaphysics helps explain his politics and his theological doctrines.

Play and Aesthetics in Ancient Greece Stephen E. Kidd | Brown University, Rhode Island

What is art’s relationship to play? Those interested in this question tend to look to modern philosophy for answers.

This book contextualizes those debates, and demonstrates their significance for theoretical problems today.

This comprehensive study of Seneca’s major philosophical works by a leading authority will be valuable for students and scholars of Greco-Roman philosophy and the literary culture of the Roman Empire, as well as for readers whose main interests are in Stoicism, Epicureanism, and/or ancient analyses of the emotions.
